Blake - 9/10
"Aronofsky's specific style for the film is mesmerizing. Requiem has over 2,000 cuts, as opposed to the normal six or seven hundred. The whole thing is coupled with one of the most haunting and beautiful scores that's been made for a film in a long time. "

Fey - 9/10

Michaël Parent - 9/10
